Tattoo's

I was reading my usual blogs and was over at Oh That's Gonna Leave a Mark's blog. In her comments she mention she is thinking about getting a tattoo. (go visit her, she is a crack-up).. Anyhoo, I have a dolphin tattoo on my ankle(what was I thinking putting it on the place that has no fat, it hurt like a you know what). I have had it for about 8 years now. I love my tattoo, everytime I look at it I think of my dear friend Rita who passed away 7 years ago. She had been diagnosed for the 3rd time with cancer, and knew she wasn't long for this world. She decided to make a list of all the things she wanted to do before she left us... We went to Disneyland, some people went sky diving with her (not me, too big of a chicken). On her list was getting a Tattoo. I was thinking, hold her hand, pick out a cool design, I said "Hey Rit's I'll do that with ya." Well we get to the tattoo shop and the artist comes up with a design, Rita looks at me and says "What are you getting". I said, "I'm not getting anything, I'm in a support role here." Well she says, "I'm dying of cancer, your getting a tattoo." Well ok then, I'm getting a tattoo. I ended up with a dolphin (don't ask) Well it's not that small and it is blue and stands out like a sore thumb. Not great in the business world, I sometimes have to cover it with a large bandaid.. I wouldn't change it for anything.. Love ya Rita...

Ok who has tattoo's and where and what are they?
